Vital Villa's Version Of Wayne Bridge
By the way everybody who keeps saying that Everton hit the post are inaccurate. Heaton saved it
Thank you. I thought I was going mad!

Not as many this timeI really struggled getting to sleep last night I was buzzing that much.
Can't believe people left before the end and missed Anwar's goal.
Mings and Engels look like they've always played together.
Great atmosphere to top it off.
Past experience should tell them never leave a villa game till the final whistleI really struggled getting to sleep last night I was buzzing that much.

They certainly did! Carragher and Neville couldn't stop talking about it.
I'm not even bothered about any other results now. Might sneak a view at Toons result for a laugh.The best thing about playing and winning on Friday night is I can relax and enjoy Soccer Saturday.
Better class of people there now - we have real ale at the bar!Sounded great on the TV. Two old games I’d use as a benchmark for those who were there; how did it compare to Blackburn in the cup semi final or bradford the last time we were promoted?
Can't wait for Tuesday, will it be the reserves? Gotta be a win and a good cup run.I don'y know about getting carried away but the atmosphere and euphoria of last night's game carried on well afterwards. You should have heard us two old hard headed, seen it all Villa fans aged 66 and 71 belting out "Sweet Caroline"' in the car going under Spaghetti Junction last night. My mate's son was a tad embarrassed.
Long may it continue
Target this season (and the expectation) should be one win in three. I'll forgive constructive criticism if we fall below that threshold but can't abide the "he's shit" brigade. We win and lose as a team for me and every player will have a mare at least once this season. Hopefully a few of ours are already done and dusted (Mr Heaton) lolIt will stop them until we lose again Mike, then it will start all over again.
Watched a full replay of the match after returning home late last night (was driving home from Utah while the match was on with Mrs gmv giving me updates every five minutes from her mobile).
My obersvations:
Everton got behind us only once in the 90 minutes which led to the block on the line by Engels (which Heaton would've saved anyway). Their other chances were all when we had plenty of men behind the ball.
Atmosphere was superb.
Wesley was an absolute masterclass in centre-forward play. He bullied their centre-backs and he ran them ragged with his movement, and the movement across their back-four for his goal was superb. He had Mina rattled. I absolutely love the fact that he has a bit of a hot head at times. The last Villa centre-forward Withe that behavioral trait wasn't too bad was he.... (do you see what I did there?)
We were very dangerous going forward.
Referee did a poor job in cutting out their players' blocking our free kicks. Rules clearly state that a player should be booked if he does not retreat ten yards or attempts to block. If the ref had done his job a few of theirs would have been in the book earlier and we likely would have had more counter-attacking opportunities. The fact that he booked Trez late in the game for doing what their players had done for the entire 90 minutes is a joke.
Favorite song of the night: "Englands Number Two"
BREAKING NEWS: Douglas Luiz Soares De Paulo was just arrested outside Villa Park for kidnapping. Police found a 6'1" Icelandic national in his back pocket.
Finally, for those saying we've spent a lot of money, I give you this:
Sigurdson: 45 million. McGinn: 2.75
Iwobi: 35 million. Trezeguet: 9
Richarlison: 40 million. Wesley: 22
Schneiderlin: 24 million. Douglas: 15
Keane: 30 million. Mings: 20
It was a lot of money in one window, but it was absolutely necessary and we appear to have some added value already to the purchases.Finally, for those saying we've spent a lot of money, I give you this:
